Item ALTERACIONES MUSCULO ESQUELÉTICAS RELACIONADAS A LA PRÁCTICA PREPROFESIONAL DE ESTUDIANTES EN FISIOTERAPIA(Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Fisioterapia, 2024-08-27) Viera Vivas, Isaac Josue; Campos Moposita, Angela PriscilaThe present research project deals with musculoskeletal alterations acquired by preprofessional practices in physical therapy students. Musculoskeletal disorders are conditions that occur in the tissues of different parts of the body due to physical and biomechanical factors caused by work demands. Physical therapy students are exposed to prolonged postures, repetitive movements and constant weight lifting at the time of their internships, negatively influencing their academic experience and thus causing signs and symptoms of an injury condition. A total population of 63 students studying between the sixth and seventh semest er academic cycles was obtained. The research uses a descriptive and transvers a l methodology since the students were evaluated only once in the academic cycle, besides having a quantitative approach since a standardized and structure d questionnaire such as the Standardized Nordic Questionnaire was used, in addition to the Numerical Pain Scale, which evaluated the perception of musculoskel et a l symptoms and pain intensity. The result was a high prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders in students, and the most common regions were the lower back, neck and upper back. However, it is not clear that it is related to the pre-professional practice, since, in the relations hi p between the semester and pain, both in the last 12 months and last 7 days, and the numerical scale did not show differences between them. In addition, in this project it is not determined which are the risk factors that students are exposed to considering that there are psychosocial, labor and academic factors that influenc e d the answers. In conclusion, it can be said that the students do suffer from musculoskel et a l alterations due to the high percentages that were demonstrated, but it cannot be affirmed that they are a consequence of the pre-professional practices, but rather, that other influential factors should be taken into account.Item MOVILIDAD CERVICAL Y SU RELACIÓN CON LOS TRASTORNOS DEL SUEÑO EN TAXISTAS NOCTURNOS(2025-02-26) Morante García, Lenin Nikolay; Campos Moposita, Angela Priscila; Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de FisioterapiaIntroduction: The profession of taxi driver is stressful and demanding, especially at night, affecting quality of life and health. Sleep disorders and musculoskeletal problems are common and can be a long-term detrimental factor seriously affecting your quality of life, with characteristic symptoms such as insomnia and drowsiness between 50% and 63.3% respectively affecting your mental and physical health. Objective: Correlate cervical mobility and sleep disorders in night taxi drivers to identify risk factors and improve health. Methods: Non-experimental cross-sectional study with 33 taxi drivers (90.9% men, 9.1% women), average age 45.85 years and BMI 26.96. Goniometry and Stop-Bang Test were used. Results: Cervical functional limitations in right (ACLD) and left (ACLI) cervical lateral flexion. Risk factors for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): male sex, large neck size, breathing pauses and treatment for hypertension. Conclusions: The moderate negative correlation between ACLD and risk of OSA indicates that posture and functional mobility influence cervical restrictions. Individual differences should be considered for personalized interventions. It is essential to regularly evaluate cervical health and mobility, educate on relaxation techniques and promote healthy habits. This study contributes to understanding the relationship between sleep disorders and cervical health in night taxi drivers, highlighting the need for preventive and personalized interventions to improve quality of life.Item PLAN DE ENTRENAMIENTO DE FUERZA MUSCULAR CON HIDROTERAPIA EN ADULTOS MAYORES PARA MEJORAR EL EQUILIBRIO(2025-02-26) Mena Menor, Richard Oswaldo; Campos Moposita, Angela Priscila; Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de FisioterapiaThe present study investigated the effect of the implementation of a MUSCLE STRENGTH TRAINING PLAN WITH HYDROTHERAPY IN OLDER ADULTS on strength and balance indicators in older people through the practice of simple aquatic exercises. Methods: 20 volunteers in a single longitudinal group because 2 evaluations were performed, the group was subjected to the same battery of tests at the beginning and after 5 weeks of the aquatic program. Time Up and Go (TUG) to assess balance and Five Repetition Sit and Stand Test (5R-STS) to assess strength, the statistical test used was t-Student. Results: Significant correlation was found between Time Up and Go and (5R-STS) in the age groups of (65-71 years, 71-77 years and 83- 89 years) (p<0.05) indicating significant statistical improvement in addition to clinical improvement, in the age group of 77-83 years there was no statistical improvement however there was minimal clinical improvement. Conclusion: MUSCLE STRENGTH TRAINING PLAN WITH HYDROTHERAPY IN OLDER ADULTS is effective in combating sarcopenia, increasing strength and improving balance in older adults.Item PLAN DE TRATAMIENTO PARA LA AUTO LIBERACION MIOFASCIAL DE PUNTOS GATILLO EN MIEMBRO INFERIOR MEDIANTE FOAM ROLLER EN DEPORTISTAS(Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Fisioterapia, 2024-08-28) López Guachambosa, Vanessa Mishelle; Campos Moposita, Angela PriscilaThis research study aims to determine the effect of myofascial self-release of lower limb trigger points using foam rolling in athletes. Myofascial restrictions are thought to be caused by injury, muscle imbalances, or inflammation. All of which can reduce sports performance and alter quality of life. Self-myofascial release with foam rolling is a relatively new practice that provides acute benefits for muscle soreness and range of motion. For this, the evaluations were applied to 40 athletes between the ages of 19 and 35 of both sexes, the NRS numerical pain scale and the Jump Sign were used, all of this was carried out in 20 minutes per athlete for 6 consecutive weeks. The design of the research work was correlational, prospective, longitudinal, with a quantitative approach, because the data collected were numerical and categorical that were related in the SPSS statistical test. The results obtained from the study variables were statistically significant, that is, there were notable changes; when performing an initial evaluation, 100% pain was obtained in the athlete, while, after applying the treatment, it returned when performing a final evaluation in where an improvement of 87.5% is shown without pain. In conclusion we can say that foam rolling has a positive effect on the fascial tissue with respect to the variables of pain, range of motion and recovery.Item TERAPIA DE ESTIMULACIÓN TRANSCRANEAL COMO COADYUVANTE TERAPÉUTICO EN NIÑOS CON TRASTORNOS DEL ESPECTRO AUTISTA(2025-02-27) Díaz Romero, Jessica Carolina; Campos Moposita, Angela Priscila; Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de FisioterapiaAutism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a condition that causes communication and social interaction problems due to poor brain development. Physiotherapy with assisted activity techniques can improve neurological functioning by addressing key areas for independence and social inclusion. One of the best-known techniques is transcranial magnetic stimulation, which uses magnetic pulses to modulate brain activity, improving behavioral self-control skills. A bibliographic review was carried out in databases such as Pubmed and Elsevier, using the PRISMA model for the selection and analysis of 15 studies published since 2020. Methodological quality was assessed using the PEDro scale, obtaining an average score of 8.8. The results suggest that the use of both continuous and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation improves central symptoms and brain connectivity by enhancing fronto-parietal connections, consolidating itself as a promising and non-invasive complementary therapy.
